Alice is five, and convinced she needs five personalities to cope. Her family, tucked in a cottage in deepest Herefordshire, are a bit weird. Her mother Gina is obsessed with the weatherman on the local news and when she climbs naked onto the roof with Alice's pet guinea pig in her arms, she is whisked off to the local psychiatric hospital. Keith, Alice's father, tries to keep calm, but his patience is severely tested by his in-laws whose disturbed behaviour terrifies the community. The only thing that gives Alice's life hope and meaning through her childhood is her love for Morrissey of The Smiths. Can mother and daughter ever be reconciled? Or is the stage set for more heartbreak than Alice can imagine?
